RITUALS FOR LISTENING

Rituals for Listening explores sound as an active field of perception, where spoken poetry, breath of gesture, and electro-acoustic elements operate through polyphony rather than linear composition. Voice, movement, and material traces are approached as performative actions, forming an anarchive of voices — a moving memory composed of non-hierarchical voices, sonic fragments, and sensitive traces that function as a ritual process rather than a representational medium.

BEYOND WHAT YOU SEE (2026)

Beyond What You See is a sound work composed of eighteen electro-acoustic variations in spoken poetry, developed in dialogue with the pictorial series Beyond What You See by Carole Bécam. The project unfolds as a polyphonic listening experience in which voice, gesture, and electronic textures interact beyond illustrative or narrative function.
